Description 9/11/01

i remember this day like it was yesterday...

i was in 5th grade going out to lunch. we were all told that we werent allowed to go out to recess...and obviously we all wondered why. the rumor was that a little girl died b/c there were toxins in the air and that the air we poisonous...how wrong we were....i had seen the flag lowered and knew that was for deaths- thinking it was for that little girl. and then i saw many teachers crying, everyone getting in frenzies but keeping the truth from all of our ears....and then i was called down to the office-i was going home early...i thought it was b/c of the 'oison' in the air and so i didnt think much of it...i saw my mom there and she was trying to smile- she said to me "Kristin, i have something to tell you...you know the twin towers in Nyc?" and i responded with a 'yes' and she said "well, something very bad happened...they are no longer there" me not understanding asked "How? what do you mean?" and she said "planes crashed by very bad people..." (i attempted to remember the dialoge as best as i could, probably a few words missing )...and so thats when Hell started....everyone was depressed (obviously) and then i heard death after death...that night i waited and waited along with my mom for news of my neighbor, dad of 4 children....he didnt make it...my other neighbor (my friend's dad) is a firefighter in NYC and he was off that day (he had taken off last minute the day b4) and we found out the person who took his place died, so that would have been him ._. many many dads (and moms) of children in my middle school and elementary school at the moment have had their parents killed in the WTC....this also marks the day of the first and last time i wrote in my diary...i never viewed the page again, it would make me too depressed even though i was in 5th grade i felt like (looking back) that i took it like a adult...i remember seeing all those news specials seeing those two metal planes crashing- over and over and over for many months on end...i must have seen that video along with others more than 200 times...i cant believe its been 5 years...and now they've made a movie out of it...wth, you just cant do that ;-; i heard it was good but i mean, come on....at least wait longer to make it like 10 or sum10 years...idk dont ask me xD and also ive never been in them...i've always wanted to....

well my story is done ^-^; im not usually serious about stuff xD so ya *random seriousness*

REMEMBER 9/11

oh ya and this is me and my best friend since kindergarten (still best friends to this date) and i am very paranoid about posting my picture on the internet so i blotted out the faces and then realized it was a cool effect and so i did our whole bodies ^^ and the quality is bad b/c its a picture of a picture and we were like in 2nd grade *points to pants* what? it was the 90's hehe sweatpants XDDD sry random....and im the one on the left...ya the one with the pants o.O who dressed me? (edit- you cant really see my pants in the pic and i consider that a good thing but i might post this picture in my scraps with various effects...i was messing w/ the effects XD )

I think you should post the original without the effects.

I was 3 when this happened, and I don't remember much, except for seeing the replay footage of the planes hitting the towers on TV afterwards. My mom told me that 'very bad people did this.'

Wow that's so sad. I wish I could see WTC in real life but I didn't get a chance. I was in the fifth grade too at that time. I was in Rochester (still where I am to this day) and my friend was having her 10th birthday on Sept. 11, 2001 at school. We were celebrating but then when we saw the attacks on the news, we suddenly stopped. Poor her for having a birthday on such a dreadful day!

>.< I was so stupid on that day...

I thought it was weird because less than half of the students were gone by lunchtime...and then the Geography teacher told my class what happened and I was like...."What's the WTC?" And now I go to high school one or two blocks away...X_x....We didn't have a moment of silence for some reason...that's weird....o_o

That's so sad

I don't live anywhere near New York but it still saddens me.

Your picture is really sweet, the blurry effect really adds to it

i dont know how to explain what i feel for this picture. but sadness is definitely in there somewhere. youre right, the blurred images do create a good effect.
